Noctua NH-D15S versus NH-D15 CPU Cooler Review @ Legit Reviews

You know, I was super excited to see what kind of cluster this review would turn out to be and wouldn't you know it, I was totally bombarded by ads, so much in fact that I had to exit the site.  Yep, done and done.

Had I actually gone to the site to check out the review I could have told you that the NH-D15S and NH-D15 are virtually identical with the S edition coming with one fan while the D15 has two.  The performance advantages of having two fans is pretty good though as I have noted in my own reviews it depends on many factors and the fact that you get a diminishing return as the second fan is getting warmer air from the first.

Lets see what Legit has to say.

Noctua – This is a brand that you have likely heard of throughout the years, but if not, you really need to look into them more.  Noctua is well known for their highly successful and high quality CPU coolers, cooling fans, and thermal pastes.  It has been a while since we’ve looked at a product from Noctua, so today we’re going to take a look at a cooler that is nearly identical to one that we previously reviewed, but with a couple revisions.  This particular cooler, the NH-D15S, was originally released on August 28, 2015, so it has been around for a while, but still performs like a king. Take a look!

Umm. uhhh.  I get the gist and I'm no expert but..  ya.

Well, anyhow check out the review if you want and fire up the adblocker.  You'll need it.  Then, if you are curious check out my review of the Noctua NH-D15 150mm D-Type Premium Heatsink.  It ws published in June of 2014 and was the version with the 150mm fan shaped like a 140mm.  In that review I test a single fan vs dual fan performance with a whopping 4 degree load difference.  

OR  if you want to see what the actual NH-D14 looked like head on over and check out my review of the Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink which is still hosted on Ninjalane.  It was published back in April 2010 and strangely enough showed a similar C/W curve to the D15.  Humm, I wonder why. .

Now I'm getting the itch to test both coolers head to head,  Lets see, where did I put that D14..  Humm
